Recorded LIVE at ORU Chapel 2/7/2025

Brian Alarid speaks at ORU Chapel about Gods’ purpose
in the battles of our lives. His title is “The Gift in the
Struggle.” The choice is ours whether we get better or if
we get bitter. Difficulties break some men but strengthen
others. The difference is in how we respond. If you do not
quit….you will win. All things work together, not some
things or most things, but all things work together for
good for those who are called according to His purpose.

Justin Graves speaks at ORU Chapel about choosing tables over fences. Information plus Application equals Transformation. Offense is the chief tool of the Enemy to keep us apart from each other. We cannot let ourselves be so easily offended. Live at peace with everyone. Preach the truth in love. Truth on its own is harsh, while Love on its own is sloppy. Don’t get into pointless fights with difficult people, especially online and on social media. Be patient with those difficult people.

Live a life worthy of your calling. Love your neighbor like you love yourself. Love your enemies. Be quick to forgive and hard to offend. Walk in love. Walk in peace. Build tables to build relationships. Jesus meets with us at the table. Those around us can be saved if we meet at the table instead of across a fence. Be a tablebuilder. Panchos don’t keep the rain away, but they allow you to function in the storm.
